Answer 1

[Such parties of combined murderers namely one who gives permission for bringing an animal, one who kills the animal, one who sells the slaughtered animal, one who cooks the animal, one who administers distribution of the food stuff and at last one who eats such cooked animal food, all are combined party of murderers and all of them are liable to be punished by the laws of nature.]
Srimad Bhagavatam, 1.7.37 Purport by Srila Prabhupada - 1964

[According to Manu the great author of civic codes and religious principles, even the killer of an animal is to be considered as a murderer because animal food is never meant for the civilized man whose prime duty is to prepare himself for going back to Godhead. He says that in the act of killing an animal, there is regular conspiracy of the party of sinners and all of them are liable to be punished as murderer exactly like the party of conspirators who kill a human being combinedly. Such parties of combined murderers namely one who gives permission for bringing an animal, one who kills the animal, one who sells the slaughtered animal, one who cooks the animal, one who administers distribution of the food stuff and at last one who eats such cooked animal food, all are combined party of murderers and all of them are liable to be punished by the laws of nature. Nobody can create a living being inspite of all his advancement of material science and therefore nobody has right to kill a living being by one's independant whims. ]
Srimad Bhagavatam, 1.7.37 Purport by Srila Prabhupada - 1964

[Just like some rascals they say, "Yes, we are eating meat, but we are not directly killing. We purchase." They think that "Let me enjoy meat-eating. Those who are killing in the slaughterhouse, they will be responsible. I am free." No. Because you are associating with such persons, according to Manu-samhita when an animal is killed, eight persons become condemned with murdering charges. Eight persons. One who kills, one who orders, one who purchases, one who cooks, one who eats-so many. That is the law. Just like one man is murdered. That murdering is committed by one man, but if has got many associates who has induced him, who has supplied him the weapon, or giving, so many assisted-all of them are arrested. This is the law. As we have got law here, here we can escape man-made laws, but you cannot escape God-made laws. ]
Srimad Bhagavatam 5.5.1-2, Lecture Stockholm, Sept 7, 1973

Answer 2

Its the karma of the animal which is slaughtered because of its past karmic deeds, but it is the karma of the present of the slaughterer which also is indeed very cruel and hence the only responsibility is of the slaughterer and to a certain degree connected with the past life karma of the slain. However in utmost consiousness the fact that the slaughterer kills a living animal for devouring it as his means of food is disdainful and certainly bad karma. ( I am a non-vegetarian and whilst i answer this question my mind has started ticking towards my own irresponsible and selfish deed to satisfy my tastebuds and relish the death of another living creature as a very ghastly deed...and am sure shall soon turn vegetarian.) Om....Om...Om

Answer 3

In my opinion.

There is responsibility on the hands of the one who slaughters, the one who eats, the one who allows the slaughter to take place and the one who did not teach the slaughterer otherwise.

And without doubt the animal who did not run fast enough of fain illness as to be inedible.

Responsibility is not blame it is cause over action. So all who are cause to a greater or lessor degree have some responsibility.

The books in Scientology on this subject are: The Eight Dynamics, Integrity and Honesty, Conditions of Existence to name a few fundamental ones.

Answer 4

I believe anyone that plays a role in the slaughtering, supports the slaughtering, and partakes in the consumption of that animals is responsible for its karma. Basically, a whole hell of a lot of people.

I honestly believe that every living thing is equal. Every life is just as important as the next. Humans are not superior.

Answer 5

The ANIMAL itself is responsible for the Karma. It is due to the Pap or Punya (goodness or sin) committed in its previous birth. It is belived in the next birth they become animal or man or some such thing based on the good and bad deeds done. This is the Karma...

Answer 6

Go live in the jungle then and stop using the computer like a human being.

Yes animals deserve rights, but not over the rights of humans. If you think that a human life and an animals life are the same well, you have issues.

edit- That's completely insane, Amanitvam.

Answer 7

and your lust for vegetables must be clouding your mind .
the only Karma involved with the eating of flesh does not come from flesh eating animals but people that are two short sighted to realize that our species is omnivorous by nature and the choice is one of medical advice or taste of conditioned response.If animals are treated with concern and butchered humanely they really don't know anymore than plants that they are being devoured but your health might.

Answer 8

Would the bad karma be so if the food was blessed and the prayer of thanks to the animal sacrificed?

That it was there to norish our body?

Wait I have serious issues with food. I have been anorexic for years that it has stunt my growth. I hate to say it now. I like food but I hate the fact that we have to eat to norish our body sometimes.

Answer 9
